Equal vision towards all beings as per Srimad Bhagawad Gita

[Guest guest]

Priya Bhagawadbandhuvullara,

Jai Sriman Narayana!!!

Equal vision towards all beings is well emphasized in Srimad Bhagawad

Gita by Lord Krishna (Sri Bhagawanuvacha!!!) which is the essence of

Upanishad/Brahmasootra/YogasAstra

 

vidya vinaya sampanne

brahmane gavi hastini

sunichaiva svapake cha

panditha sama darshana 5-18

 

"The humble sage by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a

learned and gentle brahmana a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog eater."

Our sastras thus extend equality even towards all other beings

(animals/plants)

Thus as seen in other religions also, there are always cases of

misinterpretation of original sense

But this equality of treatment does not entitle beings to exchange

duties and mixup varnashrama dharma like intercaste marriages though

they appear on the surface as enlightened activities (that too in the

beginning unless both forego their individual varnashrama dharma which

is not practicable). Thus Varnashrama dharma is to be followed

(Brahmana/Kshatriya/Sudra/Vysya in one sense and

Deva/Manushya/Tiryak/Sthavara in another sense)

 

An example :

In an aircraft though all are equal human beings and supposed to be

treated equal, duties cannot be exchanged which endangers the life of

all i.e. pilot's duty cannot be taken over by a passenger/air-hostess.

 

Jai Sriman Narayana
